Brief Description of the Drawings
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description thereof given by way of example only, in which: -
Fig. 1 is a perspective, partially cross sectional view of a manufactured insulating panel of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the panel of Fig. 1 ; Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view showing a side overlap between adjacent like panels;
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional partially cut-away view showing an end overlap between adjacent like panels; and
Fig. 5 is a schematic of a part of a manufacturing installation used to manufacture the panels. Detailed Description
Referring to the drawings and initially to Figs. 1 to 4 there is illustrated an insulating panel 1 according to the invention comprising a first or external sheet 4, a second or inner sheet 2 with an insulating body, in this case an insulating foam 5 therebetween. The external sheet 4 has inner and outer faces and the inner sheet 2 also has internal and external faces. The foam 5 extends between the inner face of the external sheet 4 and the inner face of the internal or liner sheet 2. The foam 5 may, for example be a polyisocyanurate foam or a phenolic foam. In this case the panel 1 is a roof panel 1 comprising a profiled external sheet 4 which is typically of metal, such as galvanised steel. The inner metal liner sheet 2 may be of painted galvanised steel. The external sheet 4 is profiled and in this case the profile comprises a plurality of projections, in this case comprising elongate crowns 10 which extend longitudinally along the length of the external sheet 4. The crowns 10 in this case are of generally trapezoidal form. The external and/or internal sheets may have a plurality of elongate strengthening ribs which extend longitudinally along the length of the external sheet 2.
The external sheet 4 has overlap parts for overlapping with parts of adjacent panels, on assembly. In this case there are both end overlap features and side overlap features. The side overlap features in this case comprise a side underlap crown 1 1 on one side of the external sheet 4 and a side overlap crown 12 on the opposite side of the panel. In use, like panels are overlapped by overlapping the overlap crown 12 of one panel with the underlap crown 1 1 of an adjacent panel as illustrated in Fig. 3. Stitching screws 17 are used to secure the overlapped panels together on- site. The end overlap features also comprise an end underlap portion 15 and an end overlap portion 16 for end lapping of adjacent like panels. The external sheet 4 has portions that extend beyond the internal sheet 2 and the foam core 5 to define the side overlap part 12 and the end overlap part 16 for overlapping with corresponding underlap parts 1 1 , 15 of adjacent panels, on assembly. The end overlap is illustrated in Fig. 4. Stitching screws 18 are used to secure the overlapped panels together on-site. Main panel fixing screws 19 are used to fasten the overlapped panels to an underlying support which in this case comprises a purlin 20.
A side seal comprising a bead 21 of a sealant material is factory applied to the inner face of the side underlap part 12 of the external sheet 4 along the length of the sheet 4. This greatly simplifies the installation process as a site worker does not have to apply a seal from an applicator as the panels are being laid to form a roof. The new system also improves site safety as there is less work to be carried out at roof level. Further, as the seal is applied in the factory it is assured that the correct seal is in place at the correct location on the panel to further assure weather tightness at the side joint between adjacent overlapped panels.
Advantageously, the seal is of a material which is adapted to fixedly bond to the inner face of the overlap part, on application. The outer exposed surface of the seal is tacky for releasably bonding to an adjacent panel on assembly on site. This is achieved without requiring any temporary cover such as a peel-off paper over the exposed face of the seal. This eliminates waste paper which is often discarded in an unsightly manner.
Importantly, the seal does not cause the panels to become permanently fixed to one another. The seal allows the disassembly of the panels at any time. This facilitates building end of life disassembly for material recycling.
Advantageously, the seal is of a foam material which is compatible with the insulation foam of the panel. As similar materials are used in the seal and in the foam the seal can be readily utilised in a factory without any additional handling/safety issues. The seal may be formed from a polyol component and an isocyanate component with additives to maintain the foam in a beadlike shape. The polyol may be Dow Hyperlast (Trademark) 2851264. The isocyanurate may be Dow Hyperlast LE 5000. The additive may be Jeffamine (Trademark) D230. In one case the seal is of a butyl rubber. However, one problem with such a material is that panels become permanently fixed together at the joint therebetween (similar to welding) and presents major problems if the panels need to be disassembled, for example, for material recycling at building end life.
An end seal comprising a plurality of beads 22 of a sealant material are factory applied to the inner face of the side underlap part 12 of the external sheet 4 across substantially the width of the panel. This greatly simplifies the installation process as a site worker does not have to apply end seals from an applicator as the panels are being laid to form a roof. The new system improves site safety as there is less work to be carried out at roof level. Further, as the end seals are applied in the factory it is assured that the correct seals are in place at the correct location on the panel to further assure weather tightness at the end joint between adjacent overlapped panels. In this case the beads 23 of sealant are interconnected by longitudinally extending portions 25 of sealant. This feature provides for enhanced sealing and facilitates efficient application of the seals in the factory.
Composite panels may be manufactured by a continuous process as described in our GB2309412 A and GB2402101 A, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference. The panels are manufactured with the outer face of the external sheet 2 lowermost. Liquid foam reactants are laid down onto the inner face of the external sheet 4 and the inner liner sheet 2 is positioned over the foam. The sandwich thus formed is then led through an oven in which the foam expands. Referring to Fig. 5 there is illustrated a manufacturing station 50 at which the side and end sealants 21 , 22 are applied. The side sealant is supplied in liquid form along supply lines 51 (which may be heated) to a side seal applicator head 52. The end sealant is supplied in liquid form along supply lines 53 (which may be heated) to movable end seal applicator head 54. The applicator head 54 is mounted to a robotic arm 55 which is moved by further robotic arms 56 under the control of a controller 57. The applicator head 54 is moved over and back across the end overlap portion 16 of the external sheet to apply the beads of sealant 22 as the panel moves through the applicator station. The panels may be used to construct part of or all of a building envelope including part or all of one or more of the roof, walls and floor.
Modifications and additions can be made to the embodiments of the invention described herein without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, while the embodiments described herein refer to particular features, the invention includes embodiments having different combinations of features. The invention also includes embodiments that do not include all of the specific features described.
Many variations on the embodiments described will be readily apparent. Accordingly the invention is not limited to the embodiments hereinbefore described which may be varied in detail.
